"I hope that, at the appropriate time, after the sanctions
kick in - and they are brutal what we've put on Iran - I hope
that they're going to come back and negotiate a real deal because
I'd love to be able to do that," he told reporters.
"But right now it's too soon to do that."

Trump added that Iran was a "different country" now than it
was "three or four months ago."

"I don't think they're so confident right now," the
president said.

Iran was closely watching Trump's meeting with Kim, and
warned North Korea that Trump could cancel a nuclear agreement at
any time.

"We don't know what type of person the North Korean leader
is negotiating with. It is not clear that he would not cancel the
agreement before returning home," Iranian government spokesman
Mohammad Bagher Nobakht said, according to state media
IRNA News.

"This man does not represent the American people, and they
will surely distance themselves from him at the next elections,"
Nobakht said.

Last month Trump pulled the US out of the 2015 Iranian
nuclear deal which had been reached under President Barack Obama.
The deal limited Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for
sanctions relief and signatories France, Germany, and the UK have
since been scrambling to save the deal.
